This thread separates today's lecture, where Eben asks a question, from
Line: 102 to 102
 In other words, Eben basically says that we can't go to a big firm (interpreted often as the making of big money) and at the same time be happy. That may be true, but find out for yourself first. You can always tell Eben "you told me so." And I think most people would rather be in that position than be in the position where they muse, "But only if . . ." I find most people regret the things they didn't do, not the things they did do. And as you know, life after the big firm interlude (should you choose that route) can yield much in the form of additional perspective as well.

Here are the list of criteria Barb referenced which I put up before.

1.Making enough money to live comfortably, however we define it (I assume this includes paying off our loans) 2.Doing work we enjoy and find meaningful 3.Having a work/life balance we are happy with 4.Autonomy (I think is the most unnecessary criteria if we already have a work/life balance but I guess its possible to have one without the other).

I credit Eben with articulating the criteria this way. It more or less matched my internal goals, except mine were more specific to fit my desires (i.e. how i define living comfortably).

I'd be interested in learning if anyone (especially Chris) disagrees with these criteria or proposes additions.
